Since the end of April this year we've had a regular visitor to our garden,he's a handsom male pheasant but I'm not quite sure what type. I know there's nothing remarkable about pheasants being seen on farmland but it unusual to see them in back gardens where I live in the Pennines of North East Lancashire,he comes almost every day waits at the back door and doesn't go away until he's fed.

There's no female about as far as I know, so it looks as if we've got him for the winter,he's living in the undergrowth between the surrounding gardens.

My name is David Crossley I am married with two grown up children and five grandchildren. I am a retired Engineering Instructor, retired in 1999. I have many interests - I am a member of Burnley Film Makers, an amateur film maker and photographer, a walker,all aspects of the great outdoors, wildlife gardening, wild life ponds and wild orchids. The highlight of my walking was probably trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal.
